         It’s a serious design flaw. Obviously not the work of an engineer.

   From the NZ Herald:
   ‘The winning sculpture at a New Zealand outdoor art exhibition is among a number of works vandalised in the opening weekend of the free public event.

   Headland Sculpture on the Gulf features 31 outdoor art installations along a 2km stretch of public walkway on Waiheke Island, and was viewed by close to 14,000 people in its opening weekend.’

   Too many “artists”, too many of these events are funded by taxpayers. Hell, I’ve met so-called artists who have lived off taxpayer-funded grants for twenty years or more.
   If the vandalised works fall into that category, then my reaction to the story is so bloody what.

     If an artist needs a government grant he isn’t an artist, he’s a paid political whore.

   ‘American Sniper’ On Pace for Biggest Hit of 2014, All-Time Top-Grossing War Film
   …The current record holder is director Stephen Spielberg’s wildly overrated “Saving Private Ryan,” which grossed $217 million in 1998. After just 10 days in release, “American Sniper” sits at $200.1 million and will easily pass “Ryan” sometime this week.

   On this day, 15 years ago … America’s First Black President announced to the American People that he did not have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky:

   But then, it all comes down to your definition of what “is”, is.

   And, gleefully, it now looks like Slick Willie’s Willy might just kill Hillary 2016!

   Also from Drudge, it seems the serfs can’t win:

   All to feed the government and bureaucratic addiction to other people’s money.

    ‘Shandelle Battersby: Safe and steady finishes journey’
    “The hypervigilance clocked a lot of lane-invading and a hell of a lot of tailgating….”
    With an attitude like hers, I’m not bloody surprised. I can see it now…two girlies in a rental car, jabbering to one another like starlings on speed, holding up traffic in the name of “safety”.
